Pros

- Friendly staff - Great training - Good company to work for. - Decent pay depending on the agent/agents you assist.

Cons

- You are paid out of the pocket of the agent/agents you assist so your salary can vary. - Very much a "good old boys club" like Mad Men so be prepared to have your personal business discussed at the lunch table. - You are an assistant. Nothing more, nothing less. You will not be viewed as a valuable member of the team. - Benefits may or may not be offered. - It's a 9-5, often times, thankless job. They make a large amount of money per month and can't understand the plight of us "little people.

Pros

Mass has a great product and product training. Mass operates through a series of general agents who then have offices out of which financial advisors operate their own financial planning businesses. As a Mass Mutual agent you have access to not only Mass Mutual products but a number of other companies. In addition, the investment planning side of the business is handled through Mass Mutual's broker MMLIS. Again it is an open platform. The ability to source the right product for your client is very appealing. There is a very competitive bonus and incentive structure in place. It is currently in flux due to new Labor regulations so who knows where that will end up.

Cons

As an indépendant financial advisor your main role is sales; prospecting is the most important part of your business. If you don't like sales this is not the job for you.
